Repugnant
Everything I have come to expect. If you enjoyed the end monologues in New World Order, this is exactly the sort of thing you will enjoy listening to.

Two wild minds
I cannot help but laugh but in equal measure think to myself.....do charlie and frankie need help? An intervention fulled mind mess of a book. Joyous at times. Laugh out loud funny at others. Mostly you think to yourself.....are they okay??

Verging On Madness
Great to hear Frankie chatting, and you can just zone out and listen to his iconic voice. But it's pretty tough to follow as a story. There are so many in-depth irrelevant stories that are barely tied to the larger point. Almost verging on madness. Huge drawn out descriptions of meaningless stuff. I don't mind jokes about anything at all, but listening to 10 minutes about German people eating their own waste for no reason is a bit wearing. Reading this as a book must be tough. Still, glad to see he narrated it (apart from the introduction don't be put off by that voice). And most importantly great to see someone looking the reality of the future square in the face.

Relentlessly bleak and hilarious, just like real life.
Think of Frankie's amazing monologues from New World Order, but 10 hours of it and it's all a cohesive monstrosity of the inevitable.

Listened from my ditch
Hail Zendeya.
What a ballad of words to keep me company as I wait for the bomb drones. It's a hilarious listen that has HBO level story.

Perfect
Exactly what I imagine the future to be, thanks Frankie and Charlie for confirming what my now dead grandchildren are telling me isn’t complete bollox.

Required reading for the apocalypse
This is a fascinating and poignant account of what will become of us once the apocalypse has begun. Very funny, wildly surreal and full of wisdom for the future. Quite a lot of cannibalism.

Essential prep for an inevitable future
A harrowing yet doubtlessly accurate account of humanity’s destination. Still, you’ve got to laugh, and laugh I did.
